National polling averages actually show Donald Trump ahead of Joe Biden by less than. 2% points which could be the margin of error in most polls….
Democrat’s have been doing BETTER in most poast 2020 elections….
And polls that have ‘likely voters’ vs overall voters show Biden ahead by more that national polling….
David Axelrod hasn’t made Democrats happy with his ‘very dark’ comments abouth the Biden campaign….

Those defending the president’s chances argue that the choice will be clear once voters are actually faced with Trump on the general election ballot — a long 10 months away.

And that’s unfortunate we see that happening right now with Democrats,” he said. “At the end of the day, people need to come home to Joe Biden, and I think they will.”
Although the economy has defied expectations and avoided the recession that experts were predicting a year ago, Biden hasn’t received much credit for it. The U.S. economy is on track to finish 2023 with low unemployment, steady economic growth and significantly slower inflation. But Biden’s attempt to sell his economic agenda and tout it as a success is falling flat with voters….
